Kohlrabi Fritters﻿from www.blog.onemedical.com/author/astern/﻿

Ever walked by these little apple-green or purple bulbs and wondered what they are? As delicious and versatile as they are odd-looking, kohlrabi (German for “cabbage turnip”) is a member of the brassica family, which includes cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower. Crisp like celery, kohlrabi has a pleasant mustardy flavor and is delicious cooked or raw. Choose small kohlrabi with dark green leaves. Yellowing leaves indicate the kohlrabi is no longer fresh. Kohlrabi greens are extremely nutritious and simple to prepare. Serve these fritters alongside broiled chicken or fish or for a main dish, top with a poached egg.

• In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 3 minutes
